Our take on the Razer Kraken V3 X Wired Gaming Headset

The Kraken V3 X is Razer's entry-level wired gaming headset, built around 40 mm TriForce drivers and 7.1 virtual surround sound. It is light for an over-ear headset, with a bendable HyperClear cardioid mic and plush leatherette ear cushions. It suits PC and console players who want Razer's sound and mic without paying for the flagship Kraken V4. Reviewers call it comfortable for long sessions and good value, but note the plastic build and modest bass next to pricier Krakens.

Questions and answers

Is the Kraken V3 X worth it over the Kraken V3?: The V3 X is lighter and cheaper-feeling, while the Kraken V3 adds a sturdier frame and stronger bass. Pick the V3 X for comfort on a budget; pick the V3 if build and low end matter more.
Does it work on PS5 and Xbox?: Yes over the 3.5 mm cable, including the controller jacks. The 7.1 surround sound is a PC feature through Razer Synapse.
Is the microphone detachable?: No. The HyperClear cardioid mic bends into place but stays attached to the left ear cup.
How does it compare with the BlackShark V2 X?: Both are wired budget headsets. The BlackShark V2 X is lighter with a more esports-style fit, while the Kraken V3 X has plusher cushions and a more bass-forward tuning.
What is in the box?: The headset and a 3.5 mm combo audio cable. No USB sound card or splitter is included.
Does it need software?: Only for 7.1 surround sound and EQ on PC. Plugged into a console or phone it works as a plain stereo headset.
